Planning & Implementation Grant

The Public Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant for Remote Learning and Access Due to COVID-19 was open to all applicants that met the following criteria: All charter schools that met the federal definition of a charter school, which includes all charter schools in the State of Florida. Given the finite source of funds, the Department rank ordered applicants, prioritizing Title-I eligible schools that are not part of a network of more than five schools, by using the following criteria:

1.  Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations of 100 percent; then, if funds remain available,
2. Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations between 90 and 99 percent; then, if funds remain available,
3. Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations between 80 and 89 percent; then, if funds remain available,
4. Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations between 70 and 79 percent; then, if funds remain available,
5. All other Title-I eligible single charter schools, rank-ordered as follows:
   1. Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations between 35 and 69 percent; then
   2. Those with free and reduced-price lunch populations less than 35 percent

If funds remain after that, Title I schools within charter networks that operate more than five schools in Florida would be eligible, using the same rank ordering described above.

Please Note: The deadline to receive applications was July 17th, 2020.
